Instead of global warming that’s been so prevalently spoken about in the last 10-15 years, this story returns to the scientific explanations of my youth and young adult years, global cooling!! A mini ice-age returns, starting in October, reshaping the whole world. From the initial flush of violent activity when people first begin to realize that there will be no more harvests, planting seasons, warmth from the sun, a cessation if snow or deliveries of supplies from across the nation or overseas TO the need to move to a “sanctuary” at an old military silo turned ark by a wannabe King, the action never stops. Kevin Pierce’s voice was made to tell apocalyptic stories. A.R. Shaw’s characters learn the hard way about how entitled people in the USA are, even in states known for their harsh cold weather conditions. We are used to everything going back to “normal” within a few days. This story shows what happens when any “semblance of normal” will not return for many years. Even most preppers are knocked out early on because too many people, especially their neighbors, know who they are and what they do. It’s the “throw-aways” from the military, the ones who return physically but can’t deal with “regular life” that step up to help the world survive. Well written!!
